Cheesy Broccoli Tater Soup

8 med. potatoes (can vary depending on amount you want to make)

Garlic (fresh or powder)
1 1/2 c. broccoli florets, cooked tender-crisp or 1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen broccoli cuts
2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
Small sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste

Peel potatoes and cut into 3/4 inch cubes; set aside. Melt butter. Add onion and saute 5 minutes. Add potatoes. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook just until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain potatoes, hit with mixer to soften up taters. Return to pan. Add broccoli.

Over medium heat, gradually add cheese, stirring until heated through and cheese is completely melted.
